"Beauty bloggers are a special breed: Early adopters who wear the next thing first, who spot the trends on the street and the red carpet, and give their crucial thumbs up or thumbs down verdict. They teach us how to French braid and fix our chipped manicures; tell us what's worth a splurge and when to skimp and buy a solid drugstore brand. They open up their handbags to reveal 12 different glosses and obscure Japanese blotting paper, and their diaries to reveal their worst bikini wax stories. But there can be only one BEST.\\n\\n\\n\\n                   \\n\\nThat's why we're calling on all beauty addicts: *Allure* is looking for the best beauty blogger on the web\u2014the gold standard in taste, voice, and expertise\u2014to crown the *Allure* 2012 Beauty Blogger of the Year.
